Hello! IGT video poker help

I’m going from memory but Out of service is an optional display.
Keep pressing the white button until you come to the out of service screen and change the setting.

Agreed. That's the screen the casino would set it to if a customer requested to have a machine held (capped) for them.

Ahhh... I see. When got to that screen, I thought it locked up. Thanks!
 I was noticing that there is a lock on the top right side of the machine. Assume from what I've been reading that this is the jackpot reset? There are no wires going to the lock, but there are 2 lonly wires hanging near the lock, but they don't look like they have the right connectors to attach to the lock. How important is this? I don't have the key for it either. I see I can get one on eBay pretty cheap. Thoughts?

[knagl]

Yes, that's for the jackpot reset keyswitch. You could install any momentary, normally open switch in its place (it doesn't have to be keyed for home use). In a pinch you could momentarily short (touch) the wires together to simulate turning the jackpot reset keyswitch, if needed.

As far as importance, you'll likely need to "turn the key" if you hit a royal flush. Otherwise, it's not essential to daily operation in your house.

Actually that depends on the hopper limit....


If you had 500 credits on the machine and hit cash out then the machine would dump 400 coins and then go into a hand pay. This is where the casino floor person comes over verifies the win and then pays you out the remainder of the win. This requires a turn of the jackpot reset key.


Depending on the game any win $1200 or more will trigger a hand pay so if your playing nickels a royal flush at 4000 coins at 5c is only $200 but you exceed the hopper limit, but if it was a $1.00 denomination you hit four of a kind (lower pay) exceed the legal limit and the floor person has to write you up a W2G, and you probably exceed the hopper limit.


If your ordering a key - and it’s a common key that works in all S+ and PE+ get a set chip as well as you will need that to activate your bill validator.

What is the number of the Set chip used in the PE+? Is it the same as the S+ slot machine uses?

I think the Set 15 works.

[Amechanic]

Good... I have that. 😎

He's got a PE (non-plus). No bill validator.

There are a couple of different SET chips for the PE+ to enable the bill validator, but they do not use the same chips as the S+. Nothing will happen if you put a SET15 into a PE+ -- it doesn't have the right programming on it to operate the PE+.

SET38 (SET038) is one for a PE+. Per an old pist from Jim at Midwest Slots, SET004 also works. I also found an old post of mine where SET001 worked for a specific One Eyed Jacks program.

I was wondering, because I have a PE+ that I’m planning on shopping out within the next month or two. I just sent Jim the DBV200 bill head to flash it. At least the game will now take the new $10, and $20 colored bills. Now I need to get my self a set chip for the bill acceptor. Sorry for hijacking the thread.. Kind of🤔..

Well, my game seems to be working great! Thank you guys for helping me out. I really appreciate it. I've played video poker for probably 25 years. Still enjoy it! It's nice to be able to sit and play whenever I want to now. Lol. I can sit, play and drink, and when I stumble to my room, it's only steps away! Not like in the casino!
 So a few more questions.. more general info than anything. Besides the slot the coin drops through, would I need to do anything else to make it a quarter machine, vs a nickel machine? It looks like the hopper wheel notch spacing would be big enough to run quarters. It doesn't have a coin comparator, and the old mechanical coin sensor that's in it actually has $.25 that someone wrote on it.
 Also, is there a way to change the game to a different one? This is just straight Jack's or Better, 8-5-2-1.
 I found a chart that tells what the dip switches do. When I flipped it over to progressive, it just says JACKPOT next to the Royal Flush. I guess it would need some sort of topper to see how much the progressive is at?

So my flat screen is working great. I have this old Ceronix 1942 with a busted CRT. Before I chuck it in the e-waste bin, does anyone want or need it? I can pull the CRT and ship it to you for whatever the shipping will be... Lemme know.

[Amechanic]

I’m interested in the 1492 Ceronix chassis.
